It will be fast, but I am sure that she will be welcome.

If I go, the missus will be with me, so you won't be the only one carrying extra weight.

So that's your plan eh?

Bring the missus so you won't have to make excuses for being slow.

Probably reach Laragh around 7ish, you can always peel off there if you're stuck for time.

P.C. · 25-04-2011 7:04pm

Thread cleaned up.

This is a thread about a spin (that I am looking forward to).
Lets keep it about the spin.

gardoyle27 · 25-04-2011 8:21pm

sound nice, will see if i can make it!

Alkers · 25-04-2011 10:24pm

Hoping to make this if I get enough study done over the week! Still haven't been on a group spin.

Paparazzo · 26-04-2011 9:28am

I'll go if the weather is nice

goodlad · 26-04-2011 12:53pm

I might come along too.
Gotta see how im doin for time on friday though.

KamiKazi · 26-04-2011 7:53pm

Might not make this due to a crumbling wheel bearing, but maybe.

inchiuvatu · 28-04-2011 10:46am

Me and a friend will be going, his jetted-92 blade will more than make up for my restricted Super four.. i might even take off the back box to reduce drag a little although it does come in handy for carrying rancheros and coke.

turbodiesel · 28-04-2011 11:20am

Great way to meet people is to go on a spin with them.

I have actually met a lot of those people over the years, good people, and I will joing them for a spin or a pint sometime.

Paparazzo · 28-04-2011 11:42pm

Weather is supposed to be good anyway

KamiKazi · 29-04-2011 6:48am

Definitely can't make this one now, have a good one lads.

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 9:10am

It's one of the rear wheel bearings, so no :pac:

I might make it, if I can get the bearing and get out of work early to fit it.

Me either, snowed under with work

KamiKazi · 29-04-2011 12:07pm

So who's going?

If I'm late I'll try to catch up with you on the way to Laragh.

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 2:04pm

ill be there with my mate. you'd have no trouble catching me.

gardoyle27 · 29-04-2011 2:53pm

doesn't look like i'll get out of work till after 6, wish i could say i'd catch ya's but i won't.
inchiuvatu what bike have you got?

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 2:54pm

restricted 93 Super four. ill be playing catchup with my friend who is on his blade.

gardoyle27 · 29-04-2011 3:07pm

haha well i won't catch you, i'm on a cbr 125!!!

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 3:12pm

i loved my cbr125, except on the motorway.. hugging the tank i still couldn't get anything more than 110kph but on the twisties it was a great little bike... but i havn't been riding motor bikes long enough to be confident enough go flat out on any bike except on motorways.

gardoyle27 · 29-04-2011 3:37pm

yeah i'm the same on my yoke. great for getting through traffic but brutal on motorway, i also wonder if it would get up the hill at kilakee if i managed to get over in time

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 4:05pm

lol, will be fun to find out

if it's just meslef and me mate, we will wait a around a while for others so hope to see you there. if not sure there is always next time. im heading now, catch ye all later.

seanybiker · 29-04-2011 4:09pm

Have fun peoples.

P.C. · 29-04-2011 4:45pm

I will be there in 15 mins.

KamiKazi · 29-04-2011 6:48pm

Couldn't make it out, didn't get the bike sorted until almost 7.

inchiuvatu · 29-04-2011 8:14pm

Was a nice spin, he set off at 18:30 and except for a couple or rubbish road users was good craic, we even got to witness fender bender in a carpark in laragh. that was entertaining too! will certainly try make it out for the next round whenever that may be.

hope your bikes back in action after puttin in the effort.
